can a few people post examples of a bottom of a 6 " size bowl. Stuck on ideas that would look nice on bottom of a 3 " by 6 inch round bowl .

You might be interested to know that Mike Mahoney does something similar on his hollowform urns. The difference is that the outer ring is turned as a bead.This is my "signature" style foot......you are welcome to copy it, if you'd like:

Claro Walnut bowl is 5 3/4" x 2 7/8"
Bowl rests on outside ring of the foot. Everything inside that is recessed below the level of the outside ring.
Sequence is: Outside ring ---> cove ---> Interior flat surface with detail grooves.

Go the Hawaiian way, no foot. We don't call them round bottom calabash for no reason, lol. Lots of my small bowls have no foot, in they vacuum chuck they go, and I take everything off. Aloha
It is fun turning the round bottom, but it is also very much an experience doing other styles for variety. I usually decide based on the wood and use of the vessel.Go the Hawaiian way, no foot.

I'm working on a big Calabash, almost done, and I did a little cereal bowl today, no foot, just a small indentation, and of course, the calabash, perfectly round.
Both, lol.. it’s a traditional type of calabash, you can see in the ancient ones the 2 branches, just like this one... The local buyer that spends thousands in one of these expects several pewa repairs...In your 1st photo it appears to me this is a crotch piece not split but whole log......if this is correct.....do you Hawaiian often do that so you have a crack to repair.....or because y'all have many bowls 50 & 100 years old there are repaired cracks?????
